Potholder Swap, 2013

Pattern: Eight Pointed Flower by Julie Yeager. With the addition of a few more rounds, my potholders came out to be exactly 6″ square.

The back was an improvised pattern, crocheted with improvised colors (similar, but not the same, if I had run out). At first I was slightly bothered that the backs weren’t all the same, but then realized that each potholder will go to a different recipient, so this picture is the only time the three of them will be seen as a group. So, I got over it.

That is a great pattern and I really like your color combinations. I participated in the swap one year, but won’t again. I don’t think my potholders were of the same caliber as yours, and I really just got too anxious trying to pick out the right pattern. Sigh… I know, right? With all that one could get worked up about, I channeled my anxiety into potholders.
